This book has been one of the best nonfiction AR books my son has read. Don't let the high AR level scare you, my son is in 5th grade and read it just fine. This book is about how science experiements are formed and how the data can be displayed to purposely show certain things that may not actually be true. It has really made him think and ask questions as well as inspired him for how to present his science fair project. I would highly recommend this to any parent or teacher.
